Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

In a darkened corner of Notre Dame’s dining halls lurks a small section filled with the odor of mystery ground meat, fake taco shells, melted cheese, shredded lettuce and tomatoes—the Mexican food section. It seems that not even this shadowy area of campus dining is lacking in student praise. Notre Dame students are very fond of their dining halls, particularly South, because of the variety of foods that they are able to find. Mexican, Chinese, Italian, and American food are just some of the choices available. And, while some students grow tired of the food selections in the dining halls, they find the small on-campus chain restaurants an equally appetizing “Plan B.”

Although you may be able to predict the week’s main food choices after a while, the contrasting food sections found in both North and South Dining Halls grant students the freedom of exploring their culinary creativity. Combined with the generous meal plans, which range from 14 to 21 meals per week, meal points can be used at campus restaurants, in vending machines, and for “Grab-N-Go” sack meals. The variety of food at the dining halls gives Notre Dame a grade that most cafeteria lunch-ladies can only dream about.

Taken for Granted

We have two dining halls, North and South. North campus and South campus always fight over which dining hall is better, but the answer is South. South dining hall is beautiful, exactly like Hogwarts. North is more modern. Both serve pretty much the same food, so really which dining hall you choose just depends where your dorm is. There are also cafes in most buildings, which are pretty good! I really like the cafe in Decio, O'shag, and the Law school building. Subway is also a convenient option, located in La Fortune. Also, Eddy Street Commons, right off campus, have Chipotle, Hot Box, Five Guys, etc.

Good!

The campus dining halls are actually really good! I haven't gotten sick of them yet. There are plenty of options each night, and you can actually eat healthy if you want to. The other options are Reckers, then LaFun, which has good options like Subway or Burger King. Each option has quality food.

Really Really Good

The food is here is so delicious. If you want to eat healthy you can easily do so. If you're a vegan you can easily get all your nutrients. The food here caters to everyone's desires.
